Britain's King Charles, who has spent a lifetime campaigning for sustainability and against a throwaway economy, will wear clothing previously worn by his predecessors, including his mother and grandfather, for his coronation next week.

He wanted to wear his Save the Pandas pajamas, but they told him no - so this is how he is saving face with the environmentalists. :)

WOW... That will certainly make up for all the private jets, massive security convoys, dozens of castles and villas, in which to complain about our SUVs.

Have folks seen the recent stories about the guy who alledgedly attacked Buckingham Palace armed with a knife/a bag/shotgun shells while yelling threats?

Want to know the really interesting thing about the story?

Not a single British tab that I have looked at that’s running the story and allows comments is allowing comments on the story.

Not one.

Wonder why that is...

Because the story smells...?
